Welcome to the Captain Enoch resource thread for CRL creation

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

The new home for Captain Enoch as seen in the Disney+ series Ahsoka

This thread is for the creation of the CRL for this costume, please keep all discussion relevant to the main goal.

 

 

As this armour has similarities with elements from the Night troopers we will be able to reuse some of the work down there: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/53884-welcome-to-the-night-trooper-resource-thread-for-crl-creation/

 

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Updated Skirt

Is it a safe bet that similar armor pieces to the R1 and Night trooper would follow similar build techniques for higher levels? 

IE for the Rogue 1 TK Biceps:

 

 

OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable):

• Cover strips will cover both the front and back joints.
• Biceps are loosely held closed in the back with elastic, shock cord (bungee cord) or white Velcro and are designed to remain flexible.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

I will be starting with those as reference points, and the armour is based on modified R1 armour but at this stage it's hard to commit to anything, especially this early.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Made a start with some of the easier items.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Bit more filled in, also added bullet points to make it less of a sea of words.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

First go at the helmet added.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Gloves section added.

[Sly11[Admin]]

Good updates so far Chris, the Kama is going to be fun, we could possibly look at a few soft costume CRL's to see the type of descriptive language used.

 

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Blaster is added, I think the handle grips are white based on this reference image:

 

 

Also added the neck seal, this will be the default neck seal template.

 

Just the undersuit, belt, Kama and holster to go. 

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Undersuit added. Edited as I believe the trousers to be black, not burgundy like the top.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Added General Construction Notes, which covers some general things like no 3d print lines, damage and weathering must match the references.

I think the trousers are burgundy like the top, this image shows it

If the gloves are the same as the rouge one, should there be decorative stiching at the index finger for like Level 2 or 3?

Also the hand grips of the blaster seems to be gold as well.

Edited April 13 by Veist

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

I agree on the pants, seen a few images showing the same color as the undershirt

 

Uniformity across CRL's is a good idea

 

Gloves I would suggest it be the same as L2 of the ROTK CRL

 

Gloves Black in color, made of Nomex, leather, or leather-like material, with no visible straps or logos/designs. The fingers are enclosed, non-textured. Rubber ANH style gloves are not permitted.

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): The base material of the gloves will be a black synthetic material similar to Lycra, Spandex, Elastane, or Nylon. Palms of gloves shall be shiny black fabric or leather or leather-like material. On the index finger shall be a stitched piece of fabric made from the same material as the hand's underside that while stitched to the finger has one cutout towards the end of the finger that reveals the netted material underneath. Gloves shall have the correct leather pattern along the fingers/palm.

 

 

Hot Toys glove reference

[Sly11[Admin]]

I also agree with what Glen has said above.

 

Both pants and ROTK CRL for gloves.

That's an easy change, the images I had to hand where all in bad light.

 

Do we have any better screen reference for the gloves? Whilst those Hot Toys do look Rogue One like, I'd prefer to go with a screen reference.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

After accidentally changing it to be a burgundy neck seal, the under suit is now updated.  For now it's the same as the standard TK one but dark burgundy, but happy for more input on the fabric if we can get some decent reference.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Kama first pass done. The references are "not amazing" due to being very dark, and lightening them can't bring back detail that wasn't there because of that.  I think only the hips are quilted, in a diamond pattern, and all the rest are plain padded panels. I also can't find a good rear angle from the left to confirm that it is actually 2 panels overlapped, some images hint it could be 1 panel with a 2 pleats to get a raised centre section.

 

I also made a couple of minor tweaks to the belt as I was zoomed in and was able to refine.

 

A few specifics are missing like the belt widths but otherwise the bulk done ready for further refinement.

[Veist[501st]]

I think the first pic shows that there is a clearly evidence of like bias tape, that is only in the right edge, but not on the left.
So it looks to me like the right big part is under the left, and the left is folded abouve the right and is attached to it, forming the line on the left edge.

 

For the border of all panels:

The front and the hips seem to have a classical red border (like bias tape).

But for the big 2 panels, it looks like their border is in the same colour as the fabric itself

 

I also checked some references from the figure (and pic 3), but im unclear:
For me, the waist band and the front parts are out of leather, while the hips and the 2 back panels are out of fabric. 
But this is only visible from the figure, not from the show, so i may be wrong about this.

 

Additional point: to me the shoulder bells seem to be way shorter than regular TK shoulders

 

 

Edited April 16 by Veist

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

 

That image looks confirm that there is a pleat at least on the left side, creating a sort of raised panel. You can see the bottom edge is continuous.  Still can't see the right side clearly, but IMO looking at the next image, both sides appear to match which would imply a second pleat rather than 2 panels over lapping. To have a pleat on one side and then an overlap on the other feels like a strange aesthetic choice.

 

 

Gloves, they are just leather gloves. Not R1 style.  See this promo image 

 

 

 

 

There is no padding, or the detail on the index finger.

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

Also looking at that promo image we would want to add the ribbed texture to the under suit, either at level 2 or 3.

 

 

The neck section is black with matching texture, https://i.imgur.com/BxLg18K.png this confirms black to me.

 

The neck seal texture would be a level 2/3 thing for me.

Looking zoomed in to the promo image, the waist band and front panels are defiantly leather. The red border trim matches the trim on the hips. The hip panels do not appear to be leather but harder to tell. The backing behind the 2 front panels looks fabric, something like a raw silk or taffeta maybe.  

 

To get that nice clean fold on the back I doubt it would be leather as the drape is worng. I can also see a bit of a point at the front in the promo. So this makes me think it's less of a Kama more of a skirt, with the two front leather "flags", leather wrap and then a padded panel on the hips.

[Sly11[Admin]]

Good observation Chris, still hoping we get some real  info on the Kama. I'll be sure to share if it comes through.

When i started my kama reseach, i thought it is a third panel too.SInce it appears to be very floaty in the show. Looking at the second picture, i could be a panel layed on top of the two big ones, with border on both sides (border in the same color as the panel itself).

 

Is it possible to get a direction this regarding soon? Since my friend who makes the kama for me is nearly this point

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

The first image to me shows clearly that section is not separate. And looking again today I think it also shows that the bottom edge continues past the end of the right “edge” which to me says pleat, which when combined with the front view, sorry forgot to post that last night and my wife is on the computer, which shows the same fabric around the front. 
 

At this point in am convinced the bottom layer is a full skirt, with the rear detail formed by 2 pleats. Then the rest is all layered over this. 

 

This is all cobblers, ignore it.
